Alessandro Adimari

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alessandro Adimari (* 1579 in Florence ; † 1649 there ) was an Italian poet .

He came from the old, but now impoverished Florentine patrician family of the Adimari , wrote poems of praise, for example on the occasion of the funeral of Francesco de 'Medici (Florence 1614), and translated Pindar into Italian verse ( Ode di Pindaro ... tradotte in parafrasi e in rima) Tuscany da Alessandro Adimari e dichiarate medesimo, con osservazione e confronti d'alcuni luoghi immitati ó tocchi da Orazio Flacco , Pisa 1631). According to his own claim, it took him 16 years to create this work, which he dedicated to Cardinal Francesco Barberini . He provided the text with annotations and, largely imitating Erasmus Schmidt's Latin version of Pindar published in 1616, with synopsis to explain the arrangement and structure of the Greek poet's odes. He also had six collections of 50 sonnets each , in the taste of the time, printed, which he named after six of the nine muses , namely La Tersicore (Florence 1637), La Clio (Florence 1639), La Melpomene (Florence 1640), La Calliope (Florence 1641), L'Urania (Florence 1642) and La Polinnia (Florence 1642).
